Are these car brakes worn?
Hello,
My car was taken to a garage for an unrelated problem. The garage said my brakes were worn and needed replacing. They charged me £30 for the parts and £55 for labour (excluding VAT). The guy seemed shifty - he said if I paid with cash I wouldn't need to pay VAT! http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/8355/brakediscs.jpg Are these brakes worn and were his charges reasonable? I estimate the thickness of the abrasive portion of the parts to be 5mm thick. Sorry for my ignorance on the subject, I'm a medical student! Thanks. Jo |
